Ee-mat-la explained
Ee-mat-la should not be confused with Metacomet.
Ee-mat-la, also known as King Phillip, (9 October 1739 - 8 October 1839) was a Seminole chief during the Second Seminole War.
He was captured while camped at Dunlawton plantation,[1] and held at Fort Marion. He died while being transported west in 1839.[2]
He was "also a very aged chief, who has been a man of great notoriety and distinction in his time, but has now got too old for further warlike enterprize."[3] [4]
His son was Coacoochee (Wild Cat).
